You can also link it to your supported Smart TV or Chromecast and use the remote functionality right inside of BuddyTV. The more information you give BuddyTV, the better it understands your tastes and can make recommendations based on what you already watch.</p> <p>For an all in one remote and full featured guide for every service imaginable, check out BuddyTV.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/buddytv-guide-for-netflix/id449938021?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Beamly</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-tv-watchers' title="Best iPad apps for TV watchers: Couch surfing at its best!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/10/beamly_ipad_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=PWY38yfU' />[/url]</p> <p>Beamly, formerly Zeebox, is a social checkin service that lets you tell your friends watch your watching, listening to, or playing — as in video games.

Beamly also comes with a complete guide feature as well as news from many different media outlets.</p> <p>If you want to check out what your friends and others are watching, Beamly is a must have.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beamly-tv/id513267737?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Netflix</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-tv-watchers' title="Best iPad apps for TV watchers: Couch surfing at its best!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/10/netflix_ipad_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=sMeiWX5G' />[/url]</p> <p>Netflix is one of the largest collections of tv shows and movies on the planet. And you can have unlimited access to it for a mere $8 a month. With tons of original series such as Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, and Hemlock Grove, not only do you get past seasons of shows from many networks, you get instant access to Netflix's own shows as well. Many may argue that Netflix's movie collection is lagging behind in some areas. However, television series is something that Netflix seems to be getting right.</p> <p>If you want to check out some great original series and past seasons from many networks, Netflix is your one stop shop.</p> <ul><li>Free with subscription - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netflix/id363590051?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Hulu Plus</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ipad-apps-tv-watchers' title="Best iPad apps for TV watchers: Couch surfing at its best!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/10/hulu_plus_ipad_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=qQIvAAvH' />[/url]</p> <p>Hulu Plus also requires an $8 month subscription to access most content and the Hulu Plus app but just like Netflix, it has a great collection of tv shows and movies. The main different between Hulu Plus and Netflix is that Hulu Plus typically airs new series of shows instantly. That means if you missed last night's episode of your favorite show, you can log on to Hulu Plus the very next day and stream it on demand. A subscription also gives you access to past seasons of your favorite shows.</p> <p>If you want access to currently airing tv shows from many different networks without a cable subscription, Hulu Plus is what you want.</p> <ul><li>Free with subscription - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hulu-plus/id376510438?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Your vote for best tv companion apps for iPad?</h2> <p>If you watch tv regularly, whether on your iPad or on the tv, what apps have you loaded up on your iPad, or even iPhone, to help you keep up with your favorite shows?
